What a find!
An amazing, clean and beautiful place to stay in Exo Gonia. It really is an unusual place and so tastefully decorated. What made the stay was the care and attention Petros, our property manager gave to us. He was there when we arrived, offering support and ideas, he popped in to answer queries but was always at the end of a text message, whenever we wanted advice on a place to visit or a query about the property. He even went out of his way to help us get our car back to the airport. He organised transfers to the port and he let us stay in the adjoining property when we had to check out and it was raining. An amazing property but the personal service of Petros really added to our holiday experience, thank you Petros.

Beautiful setting
We came over for my brothers wedding and he was staying in another one of Sarah’s villas. From start to finish sarah helped us out with car hire, recommended many places to visit and eat. The view from this property looking out to sea from the pool was amazing. But especially at night overlooking all the villages below was stunning. Sarah was the perfect host always available as she lived near. Highly recommend the stay not only for the views but for the fact sarah was there for us whenever we needed assistance. Many thanks Jane and family. X

Holiday with friends
The villa is beautiful and the owner Sarah and manager Mark could not have been more helpful. However the location of the villa is remote and the only viable transport is via car rental.

Weeks Stay July 2019
We choose this cavern house not only because because it was close to the venue our daughter was getting married in but because it was a cavern house. Everything was just about perfect. Both Sarah and Mark (the local property manager) could not have any more helpful. The welcome pack was most welcome as we arrived quite late on the day of arrival and a cold can if Mythos went down very well. There are two great restaurants very close by Metaxi Mas and Anemoloos. We used both twice. The first is a little bit more special and is ideal for an evening meal after a day’s sunbathing whilst the second has a fantastic meze menu which makes for a great long lunch. Although it only takes about 25 minutes to walk to Kamari car hire is almost an essential e.g. for shopping and visiting the rest of the island. This doesn’t take anything away from the property location as it was a quieter location we were seeking. All things considered you will have to go a long way to beat this beautiful cavern house. Thanks Sarah and Mark

Picture perfect
Our family have just returned from this picture perfect cave house . It’s quirky furnishings and ingenious use of space makes it stand out from the rest. The house is extremely comfortable and is equipped with everything you could possibly need. This is our second visit to Anthea and it won’t be our last. The proximity to a fabulous restaurant only adds to its appeal . It is super cool in the heat of the day and spotless throughout. A total gem.
